Where Am I?

    My sister had been my bestfriend for 5 years already but what I'm looking at right now breaks heart into pieces. "Hey little sis come here", my sister said."Why are you crying?"."Ellie, are you leaving us? Are you gonna abandon me?", I can't stop crying now that I saw my big sis so pale and thin. Her voice was getting softer and softer until she was just whispering into my ears.

"Sorry if I can't attend your eighth birthday. I don't want to leave you but I have to, so be a good girl, okay? Promise me Liz.", that's the last thing she said.

"Of course, I promise you".

After the funeral

    Dad leaves us and lives with her stress while Mom always leaves the house and comes home late. Ever since then she always drinks alcohol. I learned to live independently. In order to have financial support I worked as a newspaper deliverer. But sometimes I can't have a meal cause my mom steals my money and spend it on alcohol instead of food. I worked harder and harder. Every morning I deliver newspapers to different houses and every weekend I help Aunt Betty to sell some of her bread in her bakery.

    Aunt Betty is the only one who cares about me even though we don't have any blood relations. She took me as her assistant to support me with my schooling. Uncle Joe, Aunt Betty's brother and my boss in delivering newspapers was very strict with me but never deducts my salary even though I made tons of disasters. He always adds my salary half of his to help me with my daily living.

    This had been my life for 7years, ever since my sister died.

    The sound of the door opening stops me from thinking about my life. I ran downstairs to take a quick check. "Mom?", I call out while walking towards the kitchen. "Don't call me Mom you freak! It so disgusting!", she scowled at me then get another bottle of beer in the fridge disregarding her super drunk state. She's now currently leaning at the counter and starts drinking beer like crazy.

     I slowly gulped, "Mom you're already drunk. Let me help you go to your room for a sleep. Shall we?". I started to get close to her in an attempt to help her.

    "No way!! Don't you ******* touch me with that dirty hands of yours. You're the reason I'm like this. You're the reason why our family is like this. Is this what you wanted?! You killed your own sister and now you're in front of me acting like Mother Theresa who's now telling me what to do. You are nothing but a bad luck! ".

     I tried to get close to her once again but before I succeed with my mission, a loud shattering sound of glasses emitted. I froze on my spot as I looked at the broken glasses. I can smell the scent of the beer on me. My vision is starting to get blurry as I can feel a fluid streaming down to my face. My breathing had become abnormal. I looked at my mom who was now shocked at what just happened. She keep her gaze on the broken glasses on the floor. I feel weak and dizzy.

    "M-Mom?", I started calling out, hoping to get her attention and help but instead she looked at me with a grimace expression and walked away.

    A tear escapes as I softly sob until I completely loss conciousness.
